Jelly-like formulas can be a little intimidating because they sink into skin instantly (i.e., there’s not a lot of time to fix a mistake), but that’s exactly what you want in high humidity, says Fiona Stiles, a makeup artist in New York City and Los Angeles. Gels won’t melt off like a cream or look heavy like a powder. Blend a tiny dot onto the apple of your cheek with your fingers and add more layers to build up to the color you want, Stiles advises. Try the ripe, flattering shades of paraben- and phthalate-free Per- Fékt Cheek Perfection Gel ($28, sephora.com).
